Core i9-13900 vs Core i9-14900K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-14900K beats the Core i9-13900 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-13900 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-14900K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-13900. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i9-13900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
